I always wondered how schools shooters parents were oblivious to the fact that the kid was about to kill their classmates. Now seeing the response to this thread it makes perfect sense.
Not sure where you are going here

Also don't underestimate the chances that the parents don't like you or your wife. Or that your kid is someone they don't want their kid around for various reasons.
It isn't always the other person.
Completely irrelevant to the OP and the question asked. No need to even entertain such questions. Just move on.

I think you and your son should march down to their house and demand answers. Record the conversation. Post it here for our review.

We weren't even allowed to share the Dr. Thunder from the fridge with the neighborhood kids.
This was the way!
My dad believed he was a saint for feeding his own kids.
The neighborhood kids were in a category slightly higher than field mice and slightly lower than stray cats (the cats having a useful role in the neighborhood).

You are assuming that it would be better if he was invited, but this is something you can never know. This negative experience may actually be better for several reasons, but still speculation. The hard times make the person just as much as the good.

Do not be this parent. This is life.

Don’t understand how it is one of your son’s closest friends. Close friends are mutual.
I think is the reason for the dad’s dilemma. Sounds like from all outward appearances they were close friends and he is wondering now if that is indeed the case.

Exactly

Nope stay out. When I was in school I was the only boy in my class NOT to get invited to one of my good friends Bar Mitzvah. Even helped him practice one day at his house. I was devastated. I also did not want my parents saying anything.

I wanna know too. Find out and report back.

Maybe his parents gave him a budget and your kid didn’t make the cut?
This is the shitty thing about growing up now before mom bought a sheet cake you can ent and played.
Maybe the kids just don’t like him? This is a shitty situation for all involved, get your kid involved with activities that aren’t aligned to his school. So his NEW friends are from the hockey lacrosse bmx band chess anything club, Anything outside of his school would be ideal, so he has diverse friends that aren’t influenced by others in his school. Oh yeah make him do theater he will learn communication and it’s full of girls & most boys well they are theater kids. Let us know how it goes. This is shitty

I just Googled local paintball places, and it's like $40-$50 per kid. I think it entirely makes sense that parents would put a small cap on this sort of party.
You're probably right but we made great incomes and sent our kids to a smallish private school that maybe had 20 or so kids in the class. In the younger ages we felt it was important to include all. Young kids can be weird early on and then turn out perfectly normal. By 12/13 you can tell who is friend worthy or not.
To the OP's question. i would not reach out about the exclusion.

Again assume the parents hate you guts, again they are your enemies now just like ISIS etc and never ever do shite for them or their shitty little punk arse kid. Go against them in everything.
Don’t do shite but respond in kind 10 levels up. Let it be known you will do whatever it takes to protect your family.
I would spend 20 k a year just fricking with them, I told one mfer I would see his arse rot in prison if his bitch wife every mistreated my wife again, and i represented him for years and keep his sorry arse out of jail and saved him millions, I knew where every body he had was hidden. He owed me big time. Never saw that evil bitch again. I hope one day to piss all over her grave. I may have it dug up so I can skull frick her, piss all over her bones and curse her into the ages. Of course my wife forgave her immediately.
A man’s job is to protect his family and kill as many as necessary or give up his life or freedom in pursuit of that endeavor, and always has been.
frick these people, quit trying to get along with shitty people. frick them.

Take your son fishing or some other fun activity on the same day. Let him make some of the choices on what to do and where to go.
Posted on 1/2/25 at 7:51 pm to StringedInstruments
Take him to a strip club and have him invite 3 other friends.
Posted on 1/2/25 at 7:53 pm to StringedInstruments
I feel for you man. We don’t like to see our kids sad. But they are kids at the end of the day. They’ll get over it and move on and in a few months from now will forget it ever happened as they’re playing smear the queer in the front yard.

You really don’t think it’s odd and concerning that one of my son’s best friends doesn’t invite him to his birthday party? It’s not like it’s just a school friend. I’m the cuck for wanting to figure this out?
Clearly he's NOT one of your son's best friends. Good life lesson for you and your son.
